Research in Motion is finally unveiled its first tablet, dubbed the “PlayBook.” The BlackBerry PlayBook is only 0.4 inches (9.7 mm) of thick, making it a bit thinner compared to Apple iPad’s 0.5 inches. It also lightweight at just 0.9 lbs.

The PlayBook will be running a new QNX-based operating system with full multitasking capabilities and symmetric multi-core processing, QNX is an OS from a company that RIM bought in 2009.
